Types of Mirrors to Use in the Bedroom

Types of Mirrors to Use in the Bedroom | Best Styles & Ideas

The best bedroom mirror earns its space. A dressing-table mirror helps you get ready, a wall mirror finishes an empty area, and a full-length mirror lets you check an outfit. Start with the task you want it to do, then choose a shape and finish that make the room feel like yours.

A lit dressing-table mirror for makeup

If makeup and skincare are your priorities, bring the reflection close enough to use while seated. A tabletop mirror can sit beside your cosmetics without asking you to lean across a deep dresser. A rechargeable version gives you more freedom to place it away from a socket after charging.

This round design offers three light colours and a separate 15X magnifier for brows and eyeliner. Use its main reflection for your overall look, then move closer to the magnifier for detail. Select Rechargeable for cordless use after charging; Plug-in is a separate option.

A simple round wall mirror above furniture

A frameless round mirror softens the straight lines of a chest of drawers. The 60 cm bevelled design keeps the focus on the reflection and fits naturally with modern or traditional furniture. It has no integrated lighting, so place it where daylight or a nearby lamp supports the view.

An irregular shape for a distinctive corner

An asymmetrical wall mirror can make a plain wall feel considered without adding another bulky piece of furniture. The 54.5 × 85.5 cm black-framed mirror works especially well when you want a taller accent above a dresser or beside a wardrobe.

Full-length, wall-mounted or tabletop?

  • Choose a full-length design for outfit checks. Mark out the proposed position and make sure you can step back comfortably; a small vanity mirror will not do the same job.
  • Choose a wall mirror when you want to keep the dresser surface free. Check the wall construction and mounting requirements before ordering.
  • Choose a tabletop model when your priority is a close, seated view for grooming. Measure the base as well as the mirror width.

Think about what the glass will reflect: a window, an attractive wall or a tidy part of the room usually works better than a crowded wardrobe. Avoid directing strong glare at your bed or dressing-table seat. Leave enough space around the mirror for drawers and cupboard doors to open.

Make your final choice

For makeup, prioritise comfortable height, useful illumination and the power option. For decoration, prioritise proportion and the reflected view. Our makeup mirror collection is a useful starting point for a dressing-table upgrade; the irregular mirror range offers a more sculptural look.
